Jan.2/2019

This is a bit of a different blog but I felt I really wanted to let you all know how thankful I am for you, life and the gospel.

Well we rang in a New Year. Looking back on 2017 and 2018, it was a year of firsts, sacrifice, adventure and growth. Leaving home, family and friends for eighteen months was a decision Scott and I made together with the lord and we knew it was what we needed and wanted to do. We have learned so much and have grown together stronger and more unified in the gospel and as eternal companions. Faith points to the future and I look forward to what lies ahead for Scott and I. I think of the words Grow old with me, the best is yet to be!

I am thankful for family, good friends, each one of our children, and grandchildren and the support and love you have given us along the way. I have seen blessing showered down on you and are grateful for the loving arms that have been around you and kept you safe while we were away. Another testament to me that prayers are answered.

I have seen the lord’s hand many times in helping us to help others and my testimony has been strengthened of a loving Savior who knows me personally and cares deeply about what I feel and how I’m feeling. I love the Book of Mormon and the testimonies that are on those pages. Each time I read from this great book I learn more and more and I know of its truthfulness, it has been a strength to me many times and has helped me through some difficult moments while here in the mission field.

This New Year is a great time for me to remember that the past is to be learned from and not lived in,

 Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away they may be, live to see the miracles and tender mercies that lie ahead and remember to be grateful for all you have.

I love and appreciate each one of you and who you are. May 2019 be good to you and may we all strive to be better today than we were yesterday and even better tomorrow.

Love,

Pam, mom, Gramma
